These chapters in the manual are to be used by qualied, authorized technical staff.
Prior to installation, make sure there is a circuit breaker installed with a distance between the contacts that allows for complete
disconnection when there is a category III overload and that provides protection against current leakage equal to 30 mA. The
circuit breaker must be installed on the power supply in compliance with installation rules.
The electrical safety of this machine is only ensured when it is correctly connected to an efcient earthing system in compliance
with the electrical safety laws in force. This fundamental safety requirement must be veried. If in doubt, request that a qualied
electrician inspect the system. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by the lack of an earthing
system on the electrical supply.
It is unadvisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs, and/or extension cords. If their use is indispensible, only use simple or multiple
adaptor plugs and extension cords that are in compliance with safety laws. Make sure these devices do not exceed the voltage
capacity marked on the simple adaptor and on extension cords, and the maximum voltage marked on the multiple adaptor.
Check that the type of connection and voltage correspond with the information on the nameplate: see illustrations chapter gure 1.
2. Installation Rules
3. Electrical Installation Rules

Move the machine carefully, using the correct lifting equipment (fork lift, for example).
If moving the machine by hand, make sure:
- enough people are available for the task, depending on the machine weight and difcult handling;
- to always use the necessary safety gear (shoes/gloves).
• After removing the machine from its packing materials, make sure that the machine and its safety devices are intact.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it can only be replaced by qualied and authorized technicians.
• Packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, staples, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children because they are
potentially hazardous.
• Before plugging in the machine, make sure that the information on the nameplate (voltage, etc.) matches that of the electrical
and water systems.
• Completely unwind the power supply cable.
• The coffee machine should sit on a at, stable surface at least 20 mm from walls and from the counter. Keep in mind that the
highest surface on the machine (the cup warmer tray) sits at a height of at least 1.2 meters. Make sure there is a shelf nearby
for accessories.
• Room temperature must range between 10° and 32°C (50°F and 90°F).
• An electrical outlet must be in the immediate vicinity.
• Do not install in rooms (kitchens) that are cleaned with jets of water.
• Do not clean the machine with jets of water.
• Do not immerse the machine, power cable, or parts containing electronic components in water or other liquids.
• Do not obstruct openings or ventilation and heat vents.
• Do not install the machine outdoors.

WATER REQUIREMENTS
Water used in coffee machines must be potable and suitable for human consumption (see laws and regulations in force).
Check on the machine’s water inlet that:
• the pH level complies with the laws in force
• the chloride value is less than 100 mg/l
If the values do not fall within the limits, an appropriate water treatment device must be inserted (respecting the local laws and
compatible with the machine).
For correct machine functioning, replace the softener with a frequency based on the water hardness and type of use.
WARNING
Only use the supplied parts for installation. If other parts are installed, they must be new (not used) and they must be able to come
in contact with potable water suitable for human consumption (according to local laws in force).
WATER CONNECTIONS
Place the machine on a at surface and stabilize it by adjusting and securing the feet.
The machine does not need to be connected to a water supply because if has its own built-in reservoir. therefore, ll the reservoir
(seeillustrations chapter gure 2) before turningON the machineand makesure thatthe softeneris attacched tothe relative supply
tube (see illustrations chapter gure 3).
Hook up the water connections as shown, respecting the hygiene, water safety, and anti-pollution laws in the country of
installation.
These chapters in the manual are to be used by qualied, authorized technical staff.
4. Water Installation Rules

USE
1. Preliminary steps before rst start-up
When using the machine for the rst time, you must carry out these steps:
Rinse components
6
Pour still mineral water or good quality potable drinking water
into the water tank (*).
Fill with water
MAX
2 L
7
Reposition the lid and the water tank panel.
4 5
Carefully rinse the supplied
water lters and lter holders. Reposition the tank in the
machine.
21
Remove the water tank panel.
Carefully rinse the tank and lid with water.
3
Electric connection
8
Insert the supplied cable in
the socket at the back of the
machine.
9
Hook up the machine by
inserting the plug into a
previously prepared electrical
socket.
Remove the lid and extract the machine reservoir.
(*) NOTE: Water naturally contains different concentrations of mineral salts that determine its hardness and, over time, create
limescale deposits.
To keep the machine working perfectly and to prolong the duration of the softening lter, we recommend using water with a
hardness that does not exceed 8°F (4.5°D).
31

2. First start-up
After making sure that at least 2 liters of water are in the water tank, follow these steps:
Pressthemainon/offswitch at
the back of the machine.
The display will light up with these indications:
Instant boiler pressure
Set pressure
Resistance enabled
OK
~ 3 min
The heating phase lasts approximately 3
minutes. Afterwards, the resistance icon
is no longer displayed and the “set”
and “actual” pressures coincide.
Hook the lter holder (without coffee) to the group.
Scalding hazard!
Warning: Do these steps very carefully.
1 32
4
Note: prolonged functioning of the
pump during the rst start-up is
normal because the boiler is lled
with water during this phase.
That helps the temperature of the group and that of the lter to
match and it also rinses the hydraulic circuit.
Raise the coffee lever and
dispense water for a few
seconds.Afterwards,lowerthe
lever to the starting position to
stop dispensing.
Press the coffee key
and dispense water for a few
seconds; press the same key

General instructions
Milk is a delicate biological product that can easily sour, and
it is modied by heat. When the milk carton is open and for its
entire period of use, the milk must be kept at a temperature
thatdoes not exceed 5°C (41°F); our milk storage equipment
is suitable for that purpose.
Note: at the end of the workday (or, at least, no more than 24
hours after the carton is open), any remaining milk must be
eliminated.
